OSTEOPATHIC MANIPULATIVE THERAPY (OMT)

OMT encompasses various forms of spinal and
muscular manipulation to reduce muscle spasm,
mobilize joints and soft tissues, and enhance the
function of the body. This form of manual therapy
addresses the relationship between body structure
and function. OMT, like acupuncture, can be an
effective primary and sole treatment or used as an
adjunct to other modalities. In this way, OMT brings
an important dimension to standard medical care.

The principals of osteopathic medicine are:
• The body is a whole, representing a combination of body,
mind and spirit.
• The body’s structure and function are inter-related.
• The body has the innate ability to heal itself.
 
People of all ages and background have found relief from pain and dysfunction as well as improved mobility through OMT. Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.'s) incorporate the modality into their treatment plans for top athletes and performance artists, workers with on-the-job injuries and thousands of people, just like you.
 
OMT can also help patients with a number of other health problems:
 
• Migraines and other headaches
• Muscle aches, pains and strains
• Menstrual pain
• Back pain
• Sinus disorders
• Asthma
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
